China (B): Polaroid of Shanghai Ltd.
By: Debora L. Spar
Abstract
Examines the experience of Polaroid of Shanghai Ltd. (PSL), a joint venture between the U.S.-based Polaroid Corp. and the Shanghai Motion Picture Industry Co., within the framework of China's foreign investment climate. Discusses the evolution of foreign investment in China, from the so-called treaty ports in the mid-nineteenth century to the creation of Special Economic Zones in the latter part of the twentieth century. A major section on the current investment regime details the negotiation and approval process, management and labor relations, the foreign exchange system, and the macroeconomic environment.
